As the official birthstone of September, the Sapphire makes a bold and elegant statement. While the Sapphire is very eye catching, we also love that it is available in a wide variety of sizes and price ranges and is a wonderful fit for gift giving of so many occasions. Not only is it the birthstone for September, but  it is also known to be the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo.

About the Sapphire: It is well-known for its velvety blue hues and dramatic highlights. However, pink sapphire is also a popular choice for jewelry. A variety of corundum, sapphires are in the same gemstone family as ruby. High-quality examples of sapphire have good translucency and vibrant color.
